§ 2676-q. Contracts. 1. All contracts for construction shall be let by
the authority in conformity with the applicable provisions of section
one hundred thirty-five of the state finance law and shall be let in
accordance with the provisions of state law pertaining to prevailing
wages, labor standards, and working hours.

2. The authority may, in its discretion, assign contracts for
supervision and coordination to the successful bidder for any
subdivision of work for which the authority receives bids. The authority
shall not award any construction contract except to the lowest bidder
who, in its opinion, is qualified to perform the work required and who
is responsible and reliable. The authority may, however, reject any or
all bids or waive any informality in a bid if it believes that the
public interest will be promoted thereby. The authority may reject any
bid if, in its judgment, the business and technical organization, plant,
resources, financial standing, or experience of the bidder justifies
such rejection in view of the work to be performed.
